Yes but for a complete beginner, the first project won’t last too worryingly long anyway, so better to learn and have fun. Even a stock graphical Ubuntu install could act as a server and it would have at least something familiar to help manage someone’s first server.

Like, I’m never gonna say to someone new that they need to do what I do and use their customised coreos image haha

Well, you already have a laptop, so here’s a rough outline. Do research around each topic, instead of just doing them, as you’ll learn things that you can use as a basis for the next step.

1. Install some form of Linux, either desktop or server distro. Ubuntu, Fedora, OpenSUSE, etc.
2. Learn how to SSH into it, and install packages from the default repos.
3. Install a web server, such as nginx and get a html page to show up on your PC when you enter the IP address of the server (the laptop is now called the server at this point - servers are any computer that you use to run unattended services from other computers, so laptops can be called servers too)
4. Install a recursive DNS server and configure your router to advertise it during DHCP.
5. Using the now working DNS server, get that same html file to show up on your PC by entering a custom name in your browser (something like http://mylaptopserver.local/

Yes, DNS is a very lightweight function so any laptop, even old ones should be able to run it for a home of a few people. Getting into it will let you block ads and malware for anyone using your network. But you gotta make sure it’s stable, because if the service goes down, internet service will essentially stop while you’re repairing it.

You’re asking a totally valid, but simple question that can be answered with a yes or no, why would you want to crosspost this across communities? Especially when getting a text answer to your question from an llm probably has a similar if not lower cost than generating that image.

Not sure about that, I think it’s more just that they don’t want people streaming terabytes of traffic through their edge.

Not at all, there’s legal risk if you’re hosting your blurays. Cloudflare even explicitly forbids such use. VPN or nothing imo.

I wanted the same thing with Kubernetes and ended up using FluxCD. Highly recommend it. It basically syncs a git repo to the cluster, so you just push to github or whatever, and it auto applies the changes you pushed. Also, llm models tend to be good at teaching this topic and even writing yaml files for it, so the initial learning curve was not bad actually.

Now I’m exploring doing this even better with this template: https://github.com/onedr0p/cluster-template

The writing has been peeling off of the wall since the channels were sold

It was a total fluke, I’m not like some genious 😅 A few years ago I used nunito for a website I made so my brain lit up like a christmas tree when I saw it

As far as I call tell this is fake. The font for the title is called Nunito, which isn’t one used by Google for their UI. Could imagine it as real quite soon tho.

My Hansker Performance mouse. No wrist pain anymore and I can switch it between desktop and my laptop using the switch on the bottom

Talking at the movies. It’s happening increasingly frequently here, and it’s making me go less nowadays. I don’t mean a few words, I mean constant chatter throughout the showing. Like, just shut the hell up and get immersed!

c/lostbots? What is even going on - podcast?

Oh I’m not saying any use of ai is immediately bad, but as a dev I would want the author of the stuff I use to actually understand the whole codebase. I’ll try it out when I get some time to deploy it.

How much of the codebase do you write by hand?

We tend to measure the time until the last layout shift in milliseconds when doing SEO. At our company website, it’s minutes!

It’s sooooo incredible that the decades old platform can have a “bug” that falsely shows an account as banned. Amazing!
